Broncos look to bring back pass-catching TEs

In this, the second year of coach Gary Kubiak’s run-heavy variation of the West Coast offense, with Peyton Manning now retired, the Broncos probably will turn an eager eye to their tight ends.

The tight ends have returned to Denver — even if they never left.

“Peyton always knew where he wanted to go, based on coverage,” said Virgil Green, a sixth-year tight end who became so dispensable last season, the Broncos made him a fullback. “This a tight end-friendly offense,” Green said Thursday at Dove Valley. “This year, the quarterbacks we have, they’re expected to read coverage more and go to the open guy. I think tight ends should be a little more successful than years past.”

Fantasy Impact:

If that's the case, you might find some late-round gold at the position in Denver. Virgil Green is ranked just 32nd on our TE list and only getting late round attention. Garrett Graham is next up on the depth chart. While there are plenty of more proven options out there right now, this is certainly something to keep an eye on if you're looking for value, especially in deeper leagues.
